             CHAPTER I--FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
 
PART 321--MAINTENANCE OF THE MOBILIZATION BASE (DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, MARITIME ADMINISTRATION)--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 321.1  General.

    A sustained state of mobilization production readiness is necessary 
to place the United States in a defense posture which will enable the 
nation to defend itself against aggression in peripheral conflicts or 
general war involving nuclear attacks on this country. Therefore, the 
facilities, machine tools, production equipment, and skilled workers 
necessary to produce the wartime requirements of the Department of 
Defense, Department of Energy, and the Maritime Administration shall be 
maintained in a state of readiness which will facilitate their immediate 
use or conversion in time of emergency, with especial emphasis on 
measures to maximize the probability of continued post-attack production 
of those items judged to be vital to survival and victory.
